US President George W Bush has said Russia has nothing to fear from a missile defence system to be built by the US, partly in eastern Europe.

Mr Bush said the Cold War was over and Russia was not an enemy of the US.

The president was speaking during a visit to the Czech Republic, en route to the G8 summit in Germany.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to aim weapons at Europe if the shield is set up, in comments seen as reminiscent of Cold War rhetoric.

Rude competition

The current trend in finding talent bu television channels have become rude . This i think was started by American idol . In India Sony's Indian idol copied it . The zee TV which was famous for finding singing talents also chose format which is being rude to contestants. Only difference in zee the judges fight a lot . Now Star's show is trying the same .
But i think the rudest show is MTv's roadies and Gordon Ramsay's Hell's Kitchen .

What is it with the ICC ?

ICC made the 2007 Cricket world cup too long by having 16 teams compete . That was one day match which lasts for about 7 hours . Every player and fans where of the opinion that the tournament is too long . But now when a shorter format of the game IE. twenty20 tournament is going to be held in South Africa only 12 teams will compete . ICC could have followed FIFA world cup's format and could have included 32 teams . There should be 4 matches a day with 2 matches to be held simultaneously .
then the knockout round should start . In this way many countries will get international exposure and more importantly fans will not be bored .

FA cup treat

FA CUP to be held at the newly constructed WEMBLEY stadium is going to be a treat to all soccer fans across the world . Telecast would star at 7:25 PM in India .I am a Manchester United fan and i hope that they win . It is a pity that Ferguson's men can't emulate their 99 treble . Chelsea have a good team and they have an edge over man u under Jose but when they take them on at wembley in front at 90000 fans history will not matter . It is apt final for the top 2 premiership team to meet each other at wembley in the oldest football cup .
